Masoba Warq (875-930) was the Queen of the Zagwe dynasty with King Mara Takla Haymanot of Abyssinia.

Biography
Masoba Warq was born in 875 to the House of Solomon, a dynasty of Miaphysite Christian Ethiopians. She was the daughter of Dil Na'od of Abyssinia, the last king of the Solomonids until the fall of the Zagwe in 1270. Ironically, she married Mara Takla Haymanot, an Agaw general of Dil Na'od who overthrew her father in 916, and she bore him his children. It would be Dil Na'od's descendants who would go on to overthrow the Zagwe and restore the Solomonids, who would rule from 1270 to 1976.
